July 26, 2018
evolution-data-server vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Summary:
Evolution Data Server could be made to expose sensitive information over the
network.
Software Description:
- evolution-data-server: Evolution suite data server
Details:
Jon Kristensen discovered that Evolution Data Server would automatically
downgrade a connection to an IMAP server if the IMAP server did not support
SSL. This would result in the user's password being unexpectedly sent in clear
text, even though the user had requested to use SSL.

all the necessary changes.
